Tip time: Wade back in lineup as Heat meets Bucks

Following a one-game suspension for kicking Charlotte's Ramon Sessions in the groin, Wade will be back in the starting lineup for the Miami Heat on Saturday night at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

"I think he's probably going to be thinking more team-oriented tonight," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said of Wade. "We all felt bad about what happened and he had to miss a game, but now we need him.

"Coming off a loss and it's back-to-back and guys played more minutes than they probably anticipated, we're going to need a spark from him. And he's very familiar with this part of the country. Hopefully he can give us that spark that we need."

Spoelstra referred to Wade's experience at Marquette University before he headed to the NBA as the fifth overall choice by the Heat in the 2003 draft.

Heat forward Udonis Haslem fell hard on his right shoulder in Miami's 109-99 loss at Detroit on Friday night. He received treatment in the locker room prior to the game but was ruled out. Shane Battier was named to take Haslem's place in the starting lineup.

The Bucks will stay with the same starting unit that played in Wednesday's 108-93 victory over Brooklyn: Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis at guards, Larry Sanders at center and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Marquis Daniels at forwards.

Bucks coach Scott Skiles said Doron Lamb and Joel Przybilla would be the team's inactives and Tobias Harris would be active. Harris has recovered from a lacerated right elbow suffered on Dec. 12 vs. Sacramento.

Skiles indicated Daniels would start out defending Heat star LeBron James but said Mbah a Moute and Ekpe Udoh also would get turns against James.

"If you could pick and choose what you want to do, you'd want to start the game and try to get some pressure on LeBron," Skiles said. "As big as he is, a lot of times he doesn't even feel it.

"But you still try to put him under a little bit of duress if you can. Not let him just feel free out there. And then mix up the looks; a bigger guy, a smaller guy, whatever. He's gotten to the point he's shooting the three-ball so well and his field goal percentage is so good, it's not like there's really anything you can do.

"You don't want to play off of him; you don't want to play too close to him. You just to have mix it up and try to create a little confusion. Then don't let him make the great plays. When he goes to the hole, don't give him three-point plays. All those things are hard to do."
